Great "Quote" Wolfie. A proud Yank.

When the English Cricket Team toured South Africa some years ago they were scheduled to play a test in the town of Springs.

A newspaper headline read
"Oh to be in Springs now that England's here".

There was a nice goodnight quote in "Cider house rules", something like "Goodnight princes of main, kings of..."

Anyone remembers?

I also thought of that one. Kings of New England.

Most of the quotes I like are Buffy-related so most of them have no significance except to me, but this one I think sums up this world perfectly

"The hardest thing in the world is to live in it."

I think its true.

Hear hear!!!

Thanks, I knew it was something about england, but not england .

How about this ones form the "Laberynth":

Sarah: That's not fair!
Jareth (David Bowie): You keep saying that. I wonder what your basis for comparison is?

Sarah: Ow! It bit me!
Hoggle: What'd you EXPECT fairies to do?
Sarah: I thought they did nice things, like granting wishes!

Also, some great ones from "Princess Bride":

Vizzini: He didn't fall! Inconceivable!
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!

Man in black (Westly): I would sooner destroy a stained glass window then an artist as yourself. However, since I can't have you following me either...

Count Rugen: Come sir, we must get you to your ship.
Wesley (No longer in black mask): We are men of action, lies do not become us.

Max: Look, I'm retired. Besides, why would you want someone the kings stinking son fired. I might kill whoever you want to make the miracle.
Inigo: He's already dead.
Max: He is, eh? I'll have a look. Bring him in.

"While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice papercut and pour lemon juice all over it? We're CLOSED!"
